Generally speaking, Pictorial weavings are a reflection of the world as the weaver sees it, usually depicting her immediate environment. But as the world around the weavers has changed, so have the Pictorials. From scenes of traditional reservation life, to trains, trading posts, and trucks, the subject matter of Pictorials could almost be interpreted as a visual history of life on the reservation over the past Century.
Sandpainting rugs, first woven by Navajo Medicine Man Hosteen Klah in the 1920's, are woven representations of traditional Navajo healing designs. They are most certainly the rarest of all Navajo rug styles, as many weavers today will not weave them.
